Tennessee because of Memphis and their rhubarb fans and Mississippi because they don't know who they are

Wow, Heat is hated a lot, I get the lakers, but why are the Bulls hated by their own state? LOL at Washington hating OKC.

The Bulls aren't hated by their own state. I'm pretty sure that is WI, which would make sense seeing they have the Bucks and the close proximity makes for a rivalry of sorts. Plus the Packers-Bears rivalry may have something to do with it. Football appears to be more popular over there from what I've observed when visiting.

I don't understand why MS would hate us, but I like it. I wish one day we could cover the whole country except CA because that would mean we were doing something right.

I would be ok with CA hating their own clips (being that CA is mainly lakers fan). I would jump for joy to be honest

Very true. Now that the Celtics are done and LeBron is out of Miami, I'm pretty sure we are already the most hated by Laker fans. I hope we can continue to be for the foreseeable future too.

This, and that Bulls fans often flood Milkwaukee's stadium whenever the Bulls play there (like how Lakers fans flood Staples during Clipper "homecourt" games) is why Wisconsin hates the Bulls so much.

Also, I'm not surprised at all at OKC being hated in Washington, but what's up with Delaware hating on the Knicks?

Tennessee because they are still mad about that 4th quarter comeback and the win in game seven years ago.

Mississippi...

Tennessee because of the Memphis rivalry.

Mississippi because that state had to go through a lot in history with slavery and KK Klan. I can see them voting the Clippers just because of the hatred towards Sterling, currently still our owner unfortunately.

Makes sense to me, can't blame them.

The most hated team in Cali is the Lakers? I figured that Lakers fans and Warriors fans would unite under the purpose of hating the Clippers.

Memphis' metro area includes Northern Mississippi; in fact, the southern boundary of Memphis' city limits is right on the Tennessee-Mississippi border.

The 76ers are the closest team to Delaware (and most of Delaware is part of metropolitan Philadelphia), and since they align close to the Philadelphia teams (and some in southern Delaware align with the teams in Baltimore and D.C.), it's a residual effect of the New York-Philly rivalry.

I just now saw a close-up of that map...in Delaware, the Cavs are the most hated team, not the Knicks (they used the Cavs' old blue/orange logo from the 80s, which explains the similarity to the Knicks).
